Veterans & Service Members lose the battle to suicide per day.

Our Mission is to go a little farther to support the needs of combat veterans.

Team Foster honors the spirit and sacrifice of Captain Erick Foster who was killed while engaging enemy forces in 2007 in Iraq. Erick pushed himself and those around him to be better. Erick is our inspiration.

“What has Team Foster done for me? It’s the contact, the invitations, the constant ‘How are you doing, do you need anything?’ They’re there for us.”

SGT Mike Geib

“Team Foster stuck behind me. When Spence had a hurdle, they provided everything we needed.”

Curtis & Spence

“Because of SSD TieRod and working with the proper people, I no longer look in the rearview mirror, I look out the front windshield because there’s a lot more to see.”

SGM (R) Robert Lighty

Our Sponsors

We are so thankful for the support of these organizations and applaud them for giving back to the service men and women that make our country a safe place to operate. You too can add your company’s mark to our wall of sponsors and become a part of this growing foundation, honoring the life of Captain Foster, those that have fallen alongside him, those that have returned home less-than-able to live the lives that they deserve, and their families.

In one week, on August 13th, participants in the Oil Region Ride will challenge themselves to honor CPT Foster's legacy by pushing himself and inspiring those around him to do the same, just as Erick did! The up to 100 mile bike ride is tackled in a 25-mile loop starting and finishing in Oil City, PA

Team Foster has back to back events in September and we are on the hunt for dedicated volunteers to make our events successful! There are so many opportunities to jump in on some of the Foster 100 Classic fun on September 10th. Sign up for the Volunteer Army and find a rest stop closest to you. Rest stop set up is a small lift, but BIG energy is needed to celebrate platoons as they roll in! Maybe you’re in the Pittsburgh area OR maybe you’re in the Philadelphia area with Pittsburgh connections? Ruff Ride PGH @ Schenley Plaza on Sept 17-18 (12pm-12pm). That’s right, 24 hours.

TBT to the beginning of June when the November Project crushed Ruff Ride PHL and brought home the Team Spirit award. This is what their bike looked like the majority of the time. We loved to see their encouragement and team work!
